Description
Baroness Trumpington's memoir is a witty and candid account of her remarkable life. Born into privilege in 1922, she recounts how her family's fortunes changed with the Wall Street Crash, forcing them to downsize from Mayfair to Sandwich in Kent.
Her mother's success as a society interior decorator proved a stabilising influence, and Baroness Trumpington reflects on the ways in which this experience shaped her own life and career. This memoir is a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, told with characteristic wit and candour.
